Adolph Hitler, Pius IX, Mahatma Gandhi, Winston Churchill And Chiang Kai-Shek: Impact Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. When comparing the political and social impact of Adolph Hitler, Pius IX, Mahatma Gandhi, Winston Churchill and Chiang Kai-Shek, one can easily distinguish the line that exists between and among these varied leaders.

Cold War Visual Images
[ send me this paper ]
The images of the Cold War Era were not of the cold war. The public media, magazines and movies, were portraying the affluence of and freedom of the American way of life, while the photographers that were taking meaningful photos, such as Diane Arbus, were not published until the paranoia of the McCarthy years had subsided. The only stark representation of the underlying fear that logically accompanies a threat of war of the magnitude suggested in the existence of the Cold War was the images coming from the world of fine art. There were many painters, sculptures and crafters within the genre of abstract expressionism that felt a need to portray the emotional atmosphere hidden in the hearts of the people. This 5 page paper examines the effect of the cold war mentality on the photographs that predominated the pages of Life magazine, the photos of Diane Arbus and the abstract expressionist painting, Study After Velasquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X by Francis Bacon.

U. S. – Russia Relations: After The Cold War

Albert Camus’ The Plague As Political Allegory
[ send me this paper ]
The Plague by Albert Camus is not generally considered as a political treatise but, rather, as a philosophical work on the subject of ethics. Camus believes that the evils that lie in wait for the unsuspecting can be battled through knowledge and the ability to learn from the mistakes of history. This 5 page critique argues that the reactions of most when confronted by something as insidious and seemingly natural as the plague and, or, fascism is fear; and fear tends to make followers out of people.

Fascism, Rats and The Plague
[ send me this paper ]
The Plague by Albert Camus is a thinly disguised treatise against the totalitarian states of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. The analogy of the plague as compared with the encroachment and devastating effect of these political forces is obvious, given the time of the writing and the known views of the author. This 8 page paper suggests that there also exists a comparison between the rats that brought the plague and fascist philosophy. The question is asked: How is the return of the rats interpreted through the fascist philosophy as presented by Giovanni Gentile? To answer this, the first section gives background information on Fascism, the second section deals with Gentile and his philosophies and the final section looks at the metaphor of the rat as presented in The Plague. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Camus & Wiesel/A Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page analysis of The Plague by Albert Camus and Night by Elie Wiesel.

However, Camus' work is intended to be read as an allegory and this story, also, deals with the ravages committed against the human soul by Nazism. No additional sources cited.
